I'm not sure if this is God's way of helping us to heal or what, but something dawned on me today and I wanted to share it with you all. Erik died on 12/18/02 and I delivered him on 12/20/02. We had been trying to get pg again for a long time, I used the OPK and discovered I was ovulating on 12/20/03 and got pg, exactly one year to the day I delivered him. Now, we're scheduled for a c-section on 8/18/04, one year and 8 months, to the day, he died. Coincidence? I'm not so sure. I feel so good about this! Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but I can't help but think for every death there is a life - thanks for listening!

I beleive god does these things for a reason. I lost a baby on May 3rd last year and my due date was NOv 13th. And in Oct I found out I was preg. and lost that one on Nov 13th. Freaky huh. I think this is Gods way for you to remember the other baby.

That is a wonderful perspective to take. I take comfort in the knowing that my precious little girl was loved more in the 6 1/2 months that I carried her than many kinds will ever be (which is a shame, every child deserves love).

Life is strange and so they say everything happens for a reason. What are the reasons only God knows. I can tell you, I have never never felted so blessed as I do right now!... I am very thankful to be able to hold Casey, to feed Casey and to hve him a part of our lives.

I can't wait to hear your birth story!!.... My thoughts and prayers as always are with you!!!
